Yesterday The Australian and The Courier Mail ran polls from Newspoll and Galaxy which said the Liberals would lose seats if they rejected Malcolm Turnbull's position on an ETS. They claimed this on the basis of the public's view of global warming. This commentary was unsupportable on the basis of the polling.

Today The Sunday Mail has published polling by Glaxy which shows the public disagreeing with Turnbull's position. How are the polls to be reconciled?

While the quantitative responses to Rudd and Turnbull have stayed fairly stationary, there are some significant qualitative changes. I have marked the concept lists with different colours to show movements in concepts up and down in terms of mentions.
